If it quacks like a DAO and it walks like a DAO...

"I was in the recent alpha onboarding, and it was mentioned in the long-term (I don’t recall completely and I’m probably wrong) you’ll set yourself up as a DAO to, in short, manage the main public instance of Anytype (I assume like rewarding 3rd party providers, decide on new features, etc.)" [0]

(my throwaway thoughts)

Perhaps we're entering a new phase of crypto projects -- in an analoguous way to crypto-fascism [1] where the "crypto" part refers to "cryptic" i.e. hidden, it's possible that crypto(currency) projects are starting to be self-aware enough to not mention their roots, even though they are in fact blockchain-based.

You could say that this is crypto-crypto i.e. Crypto 2.0!

I could imagine a post-crypto-crypto state, where projects that don't die first abandon their overt blockchain framing, and then actually abandon the blockchain entirely.

E.g., ten years from now OpenSea evolves into a completely centralized system for digital assets.

Too bad about Anytype. It looks like yet another project with many good ideas ruined by blockchain ideology.

Anytype works on a peer-to-peer stack (as torrents), so there is no blockchain needed at this stage.

FFS can someone please advise what "DAO" is? >.>

Thank-you.

Decentralized Autonomous Organization. It's a joint-stock company but based on shitcoins.
